Horrible food! The worst Food I have ever had — I cannot even say it was Indian food. The food wasn’t even cooked completely — potatoes still hard and bitter, chicken undercooked, yucky!!! I went here solely for e reviews and once I took my first bite I realized that the reviews were from Americans that have never had authentic Indian food and have no clue what they are missing. This restaurant will not last long with the chef they have. If you wAnt authentic Indian food please try Bawarchi in Morrisville, NC or biryani max in Cary NC for some good chicken dum biryani.

Best, most authentic Indian food in Raleigh. They have the best lunch buffet with a ton of vegetarian options. Don’t worry carnivores, they have some good meat choices, too. The buffet is constantly changing and I love trying the new options! The staff is very friendly, too. All around great place and a hidden gem in Raleigh!

I really like the lunch buffet here. It’s varied, and has plenty of vegetarian and meat selections with a variety of spice levels. Service is always top notch, attentive and speedy. The chef is a real pro who has traveled the world, and brings a lot of experience and skill which brings this restaurant to a much higher level.

The butter chicken is awesome! Saag Paneer is tasty, garlic naan is fabulous. Great take-out options for Indian in Raleigh!

This is singularly the worst Indian food I have had in a long time. I have been eating Indian cuisine for many many years and half way around the world. My wife ordered chicken tikka masala and I ordered chicken vindaloo, aloo paratha, starting off with veggie samosas. The samosas were very good, the aloo paratha very dry and tasteless. Now to the main dishes — both gag-me sweet. We complained and they remade them. They came out exactly the same, claiming there was absolutely no sugar or sweetener in the dishes. Blaming it on a sweet onion, the sauce base. Absolute bollocks. It had a gob of sugar in it. So much so, it was totally inedible. They argued with us and then removed the entrees from our bill. However, they did add $ 1.99 for the extra papad and a half we asked for. Not surprisingly, at 7 – 7.30 on a Saturday night, we were the only people in there. Too many good choices around to go back there.

Usually my go to Indian restaurant. We have not ordered in a long time and decided to place an order. I’m hoping it was an off night. The naan was not editable as it was hard and flaky one of the orders of butter chicken was dry and not seasoned well. The other two orders were fine. Again hoping it was a off night as the food here is usually very good.

If you like Indian food, live in the triangle and like trying new places — then this place is a must try. You can tell they use top quality ingredients. The best part is that the family who owns the restaurant is always very kind.

This a good place to get Northern Indian food. The have a good selection of vegetarian dishes as well. There is also many meat dishes for people to choose from. I ordered the Chana Peshwari. It is a chickpea dish in a creamy tomato sauce. I ordered it at a medium spiciness level and that was enough for me. I also ordered the Masala tea. My boyfriend ordered the Lamb curry. Both were good, as was my tea. The Naan however left a little to be desired. It is supposed to be cooked in a Tandoori oven. This was just baked with a little olive oil. I think this cooking of the Naan was to accommodate a more western pallate. The service was okay. I sat with out my water refilled for a few minutes. I know they were busy, I really need my water for my spicy food.

This is my favorite restaurant in Raleigh. Simply because of the food. It is consistently delicious. The wait staff is really nice too. Helpful enough, but not in your face. Best Indian food I’ve had to date!

Came here for the Buffet for a grab-n-go during lunch-time. All of the hot trays were full and with lots of options to choose from the good ol’ traditional Indian cuisine. Food was not very spicy, yet still aromatic and full of that bold Indian flavor many seek when going to Indian places. Most of the food available was vegetables, rice, noodles, etc. Only few chicken options. They did mention that Lamb would be available on the weekend. Also a separate smaller cold buffet table was there with salads and a few other options. Price was around $ 9-$ 10 I believe per person, so not too bad of a deal for take-out.

I live pretty close to Kadhi so have given them several tries over the years. I’ve dined in and had the lunch buffet, ordered entrees for dinner and had takeout. The quality, in my opinion has declined my last few tries. My recent takeout order consisted of chicken vindaloo, mushrooms & peas and an order of garlic naan. $ 36 dollars for 2 entrees and naan is pretty steep but if it tastes good, I won’t complain. Well, it didn’t taste good. I asked for my entrees extra spicy. They had heat from the cayenne pepper but otherwise the curries lacked flavor — and my vindaloo curry tasted like my mushroom & peas dish… the garlic naan was disappointing too — thin and burnt. The price, food quality and 90.5 health rating has made this my last attempt. Time for me to start cooking vindaloo at home.

We visited Kadhai on a Saturday for their buffet. Not impressed with the food at all — typical greasy heavy curries, average naan’s and the dessert was terrible(and served in tiny little cups) Spring rolls were decent but extremely oily/deep fried. Price was above what I call reasonable for a buffet of this quality. Ambience is average. Would not go there again.

Craving something different for dinner, we settled on Indian food and were pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant close to home. Seeing all the good reviews on Unilocal,we decided to give Kadhai a try and we were not disappointed. For two, we had vegetable samosas, naan, butter chicken, baingan bharta, rice and mango lassi. We ate till we were stuffed, but we didn’t even make a dent in the dishes. We had enough left over to make two takeout boxes — each with rice, chicken and eggplant. I know what’s for lunch tomorrow! Service was pleasant and attentive enough but not intrusive. My water was regularly refilled. We came for dinner around 7:30 on a Saturday, and the dining room was pretty quiet with only two tables seated. You can hear each table’s conversation but that didn’t seem to make anyone feel self conscious at all. The prices may seem high but we’re essentially getting two meals. So yeah. Writing this review is making me hungry again.

Delish. After looking around and being disappointed in the reviews and the prices of other Indian restaurants in the area, Kadhai was recommended by a friend and we were very pleasantly surprised. Super flavorful and spivey curries, absolutely delicious naan(like whoa, so good), and a big menu full of all kinds of stuff like lassi and Indian desserts. Really really good, and bonus, it’s close to home up here in the North. I think we are going to be getting well acquainted Kadhai.

Disclaimer: My review is just for a la carte dinner. Honestly, this place is really average, and was quite disappointing. Minor minus point: dinner service is really slow and it looks like they are understaffed. Major minus point: for the quality and serving size of the food we had, the price is WAYYYYTOOHIGH! Allow me to elaborate. The chicken 65 entrée, while relatively tasty, was $ 10 for a very small serving. For the same price, you can get much tastier Chicken 65 at Betel(Morrisville). For half the price, you can get the same serving but much more delicious Chicken 65 at Himalayan Nepali(Cary). See what I mean? The lamb tikka is $ 18. The serving size was not that impressive, and sadly, more than half of the meat was overcooked and completely dry in the middle. The lamb they used was also extremely gamy. My partner and I both did not really like this dish. The curries were pretty decent, but again, at $ 15 per entrée for a tiny pot of curry, they were terribly overpriced! For these reasons, we will probably not be coming back. If you’re willing to drive out just a little, there are amazing, much more authentic, and much cheaper options for very similar food in Morrisville and Cary.

Love this place. Try the mushrooms and peas, lamb tiki masala, and ghobi manchurian. Mango lasse puts down the heat. Friendly staff, lunch buffet, and good prices at dinner.

The only thing wrong with this restaurant are te Unilocal directions for getting here(they took us to a different Indian restaurant in the same city, but 7 miles away). I’m always delighted when I can find a buffet with equally tasty and numerous entrees for both my husband and me(he eats meat, I don’t). I tried every vegetarian curry offered – my favorite was the one with okra(and I hate okra). Make sure you save room for desserts – the rice pudding was also the best I’ve ever had(we’ve eaten in close to 30 different Indian restaurants).

Found via Unilocal!Searched ‘Raleigh — Indian — Glenwood’ and Kadhai came up pretty quickly as the top spot to try out. I can easily see why. My wife and I stopped by for lunch yesterday and had the buffet. Everything was great. Great selection of vegetarian and carnivore treats. The chef(owner?) came out several times to check on us. It’s a bit hidden from the main drag, if you’re looking for it, drive to the back of the shopping center near by where the Golf World place is.

After too many disappointments, I was hoping Kadhai would be a lauded restaurant that did not disappoint me. There were a few bumps along the road, but as a whole, I liked Kadhai. I walked in with my friend for dinner after the rush one night. We were not greeted for a good few minutes, and I legitimately wondered if they were closing early. Fortunately they weren’t — a server finally glanced over at us and motioned us over to a table. I guess that works. Goat is one of my favorite proteins, so I didn’t need to carefully peruse the menu to know that I wanted the goat curry for $ 16.00. When asked, I decided 8⁄10 on the spiciness level would be enough for me. Entrees are served with rice. Naan(Indian bread) is a sine non qua of any Indian meal, but is extra at dinner time. I ordered garlic naan for $ 2.99. Prior to the entrees arriving, we were served papad(wafer thin crackers) with a yogurt sauce. The papad was delicious, and I wish the server would’ve stopped at our table to refill the basket prior to our entrees arriving. The entrees arrived in a timely enough manner, and I noticed the oil separating in the curry, indicative of it being cooked at an improper temperature. Still, the goat curry was delicious, if not a tad on the mild side. I was delighted by the tenderness of the goat meat. Spicy food junkies should go for the full 10⁄10. Entrees are easily enough for two people with average appetites to share. Still, I decided to finish off the meal with a mango lassi for $ 3.50. I have no benchmark to compare this with, but I still felt underwhelmed by it. 4 stars — Kadhai is probably one of the better Indian restaurants in Raleigh. I enjoyed my meal here. Somewhat slack service combined with minor flaws in the food prevents Kadhai from reaching greatness.
